Chapter 7

My pacing was driving everyone crazy, but I couldn't stop. It wasn't helping that I was losing control over my speed. I was so worried about meeting Rohl, and nothing could be said to calm me down.

Maybe we should have brought Jasper with us. Then again I didn't want too many people with us. For all I knew, Rohl wouldn't be very accepting of too many people knowing the real truth of Blue Skies.

Someone caught my arm and I spun towards them. My eyesight was slightly blurry thanks to my speed but I could tell that it was Phil.

"Come walk with me, Bella."

He overemphasized the word walk, and I nodded; focusing on controlling my speed again.

We stepped outside on his back porch. Thankfully it was secluded, none of the neighbors could see back here. Not that anyone would be up at this hour.

Phil took my hand and we sat down on the porch swing. "You don't have to worry about Rohl, he is a very kind and patient man."

"It's my family's connection that worries me," I told him honestly.

Phil laughed at me. "Bella…"

"His friends are gone."

That silenced Phil.

"Can't you see why that might make me nervous?" I was whispering, but the words sounded like a scream in my ear.

Rohl was an old family friend, and I had been one of the few members of my family who hadn't met him. Anna had even met him, but I hadn't. To be honest, I had been too intimidated to meet him, so I had declined any offers to go see him. Now I felt ashamed that I hadn't gone with the family.

"Bella, Rohl is going to be so excited to see you." Gi's voice came from behind us and I turned to her.

Edward was standing behind her. "It's time to go." He held one of the stones for me to take. We didn't know how long we would be out, but we would need the stones here in Jacksonville.

I got up, glad that my eyes were adjusting faster than they had before.

Gi took the stone from Edward and placed it in my hand, folding my fingers around it. "I promise, whatever you've come to talk with him about, he will listen and more importantly, he'll support you."

Taking a deep breath I nodded, and Edward and I headed out. Phil had given me the directions to the place where we would wait for transport.

It didn't take long to get there. It was a bench, just sitting on the side of the road.

We took a seat and waited.

If only I had known sitting down had been considered transport.

It felt like falling, but not any type of falling. No this was like the awful sensation you feel when you dream that you are falling. The kind that rips you into consciousness.

We landed outside of a strange apartment looking building. Despite the fact, we both had landed upright and practically balanced, Edward wrapped his arms around my waist to support me.

A woman with rich titan hair and emeralds for eyes strolled towards us; clearly on a mission.

"Miss Swan?" So this had been the second woman I had been on the phone with.

I nodded. "That's me."

She gave a brief jerk of her chin. "This is your mate?"

"Edward Cullen." Edward reached his hand towards the woman but I grabbed hold of it. He gave me a strange look.

The woman didn't seem offended thankfully. "Mr. Cullen, it's a woman's choice to offer her hand to shake."

Edward nodded, wisely keeping quiet.

The woman, who hadn't bothered to give her name led us into the building. She took us to a door on the top floor, at the very end of the hall on the right. She knocked on the door before vanishing from sight.

I grasped Edward's hand tightly, starting to worry again. He squeezed my hand to comfort me.

The door opened and one of the thinnest men I had ever seen in my life ushered us into the room. He was taller than Edward by a few inches, towering over me. I couldn't believe how much like a twig he looked like, it didn't help that his hair was a dirt brown, and his eyes were a flat gray color. His eyes held warmth and were filled with all the wisdom he had gathered in his centuries of life.

"So," his voice was a rich tenor. "Which one are you?"

I couldn't help laughing in shock when he didn't give me a chance to answer. He pulled me into a hug that could rival Emmett's.

When he released me he shook hands with Edward.

"Well, who do you belong to?" He asked again.

I rubbed at my arm nervously. "I'm Renee's daughter."

He nodded. "I know your mother well. Such a wild thing, especially when she was young."

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Rohl." I managed to say."

Rohl gave me a smile. "You too Bella. Please come in and make yourself comfortable." He gestured further into the apartment, leading us to his small living room.

Edward and I sat down on the couch while Rohl took a seat across from us, in what was obviously his chair.

I glanced from Edward to Rohl. "Rohl, this is my mate, Edward. Edward, this is Rohl, an old family friend."

Rohl chuckled lowly. "Old doesn't cover it, you're looking at the man who makes dirt look new."

Edward's eyebrows raised in shock and I laughed.

"He's not serious, in fact, Tanya is older than him."

Rohl shook his head. "You're spoiling my fun. Though who is this woman you're talking about."

The blush that rushed up my cheeks burned with a rage. I remembered my grandfather warning me about how much of a flirt Rohl could be.

Rohl turned apologetic. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you. What was it that was so urgent for you to come all this way, Bella? It was my understanding that you needed to stay in Washington as much as you could."

I was thankful for the change in subject. "Toby," I drew in a shaky breath, "left me quite a bit of information. There's a lot I have to go through still, but," I pushed through. "I know about Blue Skies."

Rohl glanced down at his clasped hands. "I see, who have you told?"

"No one," I was quick to admit. "But Ruby, Toby's friend…"

"I know Ruby, not well but I know of her." Rohl nodded for me to continue after interrupting.

I bit my lip nervously than continued. "She found something, but wouldn't tell me what it was. She thinks it has to do with Blue Skies. She wants to know exactly what it is."

Rohl nodded. "So you came to ask if it was okay to tell her."

"Toby made me promise not to tell anyone what I knew, even before I learned everything about it. I can't ask for his permission so you're the next best person to ask."

Rohl's hand came up to his chest. "I'm honored, Bella. And I thank you for coming to ask me before you passed on this delicate information. To be honest with you, we need to get this information out to the Rebellion, but we don't want to let the Undermining know, that we learned what their plan is."

I sighed and leaned against Edward. "The Rebellion is filled with spies for the Undermining.

"As it was that one time we dared to attack them."

Edward's ears picked up at that and I knew he wanted to know about that. Rohl saw his curiosity too and he was more than happy to explain it to him.

"The other world never had a chance to stop the Undermining, when it came to their take over. So the Rebellion was born to stop them. We had built up a large gathering, and the older generations of the Higginbothams and many other families set out to destroy the Undermining. This was almost two hundred years ago.

"The war was held amongst the lands of the other world, the lands are hidden behind magic so the other two worlds can't find it. It was our attempt to hide it from the history of the planet, and protect the other two worlds from the devastation."

Rohl glanced up to meet my gaze, though he was telling the story for Edward. "We had prepared for battle believing the Undermining was none the wiser. Their forces were nothing like we could have guessed. We were almost completely wiped out. We never did find out who had given the Undermining the heads up."

I crossed my arms over my chest, glaring at the ground. "If it wasn't for Rohl, the Rebellion wouldn't have rebuilt. No one wanted to trust the younger generation of the Higginbothams and none of the older generation had survived. Everyone else wanted to surrender."

Rohl shook his head in disappointment. "Now we are facing another battle, but this time it won't be in the other world's land." He turned to Edward. "I suppose we should explain."

"That would be appreciated," Edward said.

Rohl leaned back in his chair. "Everyone in the Rebellion, in fact, everyone in the other world knows that Blue Skies means the Undermining's final plan for the planet. That was the code name the original Rebellion's leaders called it."

He shook his head. "Don't let the name fool you. The Undermining's plan is dark and destructive. Only a few people know the truth. All the men in the Higginbotham family's legacy line knew about it. Bella knows, and so do I."

"That's all who knows," I told Edward.

Rohl surprised me though. "There is one other person who knows."

"What? Toby said it was only the people who led the first Rebellion that new." This didn't make any sense. "You were the only leader who survived; you were the one who told the new head of the Higginbotham line."

Rohl bowed his head. "Marlowe, Avery Marlowe, survived the battle and has been living in Greenland ever since. I'm the only one who knows his location."

I couldn't comprehend this. "Everyone thinks he's dead, how is that possible. The Undermining would never let a man like him slip through their attention."

Rohl got up from his seat and moved to stand in front of his fireplace. "I don't know how, but he has the Undermining believing he is dead, something I've always said is impossible."

"So only the three of you know the real purpose of Blue Skies?" Edward pulled me closer so it was easier for him to comfort me.

Rohl gave us a cheeky grin. "Us, and the Undermining of course."

I rolled my eyes. "Of Course."

Rohl didn't seem to notice my annoyed input. "It's time to change that. I fear the time is drawing closer to this dangerous end; so we need more people we can trust in on this if we want a chance to stop it."

He took a box from the mantel and sat back down.

Anyone from one of the other two worlds would have thought the box was empty when Rohl removed the lid. I noticed Edward's curious gaze as he glanced inside of it.

Rohl smirked at Edward's confusion and reached his fingertips inside as if he was grabbing something from it. He snatched his hand from the box and tossed the bit of magic into the air.

Golden threads scattered into the air before us and weaved themselves together, showing us a map of the entire planet.

I couldn't help the smile when I saw Edward's astonishment at the proper size and all the extra lands that there were.

"This is planet earth, with all of its lands revealed." Rohl rested his palm against the map. "This is what Blue Skies is. The Undermining is tired of hiding away in the other world. They want to reveal the other world including these hidden areas. Once they do, they'll be able to really control the entire world as a whole."

I wrapped my arm through Edward's and I waited for him to meet my gaze. "We're just waiting for them to gain enough magic."

His gaze turned something between thoughtful and concerned and I grimaced as he turned to Rohl. "You think this time is getting close? It was my understanding the Other world had ways to protect and keep the other two worlds from knowing about it. "

Rohl sighed deeply. "The Other world magic conceals its land from the Mythical and Human world. This is the most powerful of magic and can no longer be controlled by any person, group, or even machine. The only way the Undermining can complete their plans is to destroy the magic."

"Is that even possible?" Edward gasped. His panic was one of the reasons why I hadn't told anyone about Blue Skies. I didn't want to be the one to release this panic on the people.

Rohl got up from his seat and grabbed one of the many books off a bookshelf beside the fireplace. He flipped to a page and took his seat.

Neither the Human world nor the Mythical world has any information about the Other world unless given it. There has only been one time when information had accidentally been given to them. This is the one myth of the Other world."

He handed the book to Edward and sat back to watch.

I released Edward's hand and silently waited for his reaction.

Author's note.

I know what you are thinking this is completely mean of me, but when I'm told to stop a chapter by my characters I do. So I apologize for the evil cliff hanger, and I hope you all enjoyed this chapter.

What do you think is the only myth from the Other World that the human and mythical world knows?

What did you think of Blue Skies?

Do you like Rohl and the information that we are learning from him? What about this Marlowe character?

See you in the next chapter,
